13:08:18 RandallNeustaedter Yes, I'm here.
13:08:29 RandallNeustaedter Tina, can you post the topic too.
13:08:29 Webmama_Tina great!
13:08:34 Webmama_Tina ok so shoxie, go for it!
13:08:39 shoxie Hi, Doctor. I was wondering about thrush - my daughter has had it since about 7wo and she's now just over 7 months. We've tried most conventional treatments but to no avail. I've also tried babydophilus but she still has thrush.
13:08:39 Webmama_Tina yes i'll do that again
13:08:58 Webmama_Tina oh and teh comings and goings are now turned off but if you want to make it take effect you have to log off and back on again
13:08:59 shoxie Is there anything you can recommend? I have no symptoms but I'm worried that I'm passing it to her
13:09:02 Webmama_Tina sorry for the inconvenience
13:09:13 RandallNeustaedter Is she solely breastfed or on solids?
13:09:17 chat_manager upcoming chatters: shoxie, kamibug, 6stones, tina,chatmanager, faint, madison'smommy, mom2jandw,barbeeluvsshayla (if you want to be added, type a ?)
13:09:19 Webmama_Tina so if its driving you nuts getting the notices about everyone entering and exiting, just log off and right back on again
13:09:22 shoxie She's started solids about a month ago
13:09:35 shoxie and still mostly breastfeeding.
13:09:38 Webmama_Tina today's topic: Open discussion about any recurrent or persistent children's health problems, including weakened immunity to infections, allergies, asthma, eczema, diabetes, chronic headaches, and any others. The conventional pediatric care for chronic problems often amounts to using drugs that temporarily alleviate symptoms, but do nothing for the underlying problem. Holistic pediatrics addresses the imbalance that precedes chronic symptom patterns, taking an approach that relieves symptoms with natural medicines and strengthens the body to prevent recurrences.

13:09:51 hayday ?
13:10:10 RandallNeustaedter OK, then she should be on a really good probiotic. Many at the health food store are dead unfortunately.
13:10:22 chat_manager upcoming chatters:  kamibug, 6stones, tina,chatmanager, faint, madison'smommy, mom2jandw,barbeeluvsshayla (if you want to be added, type a ?)
13:10:26 shoxie Oh, really? I have the Baby Jarrodophilus I think
13:10:49 chat_manager upcoming chatters:kamibug, 6stones, tina, chatmanager, faint (if you want to be added to the cue, type a ?)
13:10:49 shoxie But it hasn't had any effect. Where can I get something better?
13:11:06 RandallNeustaedter Talk to the manager at the health food store about the most reliable brand. And she should be taking a broad spectrum probiotic formula, not just bifidus.
13:11:28 shoxie Ok, broad spectrum. I'll try that. Should I follow the dosage on the bottle?
13:11:37 debbieandjacob hello???
13:11:38 RandallNeustaedter The routine homeopathic medicine for thrush is Borax, so you may want to try that too.
13:11:51 chat_manager upcoming chatters:  kamibug, 6stones, tina,chatmanager, faint, madison'smommy, mom2jandw,barbeeluvsshayla (if you want to be added, type a ?) be faint, madison'smommy, mom2jandw,barbeeluvsshayla, hayday (if you want to be added, type a ?)
13:11:58 shoxie Ok, I will definitely try that. I just wonder if there's some underlying condition - it scares me.
13:11:59 RandallNeustaedter Otherwise constitutional homeopathic treatment would be a good idea.
13:12:00 hayday ?
13:12:16 RandallNeustaedter This is very common, so I wouldn't worry.

13:13:45 Kamibug_and_Kiddos he is getting attention, he's being seen by orthopedic pedi's and his regular pedi
13:13:59 RandallNeustaedter There is a very good method in Chinese medicine for strengthening bone development in children. You should see a qualified Chinese herbalist.
13:14:31 RandallNeustaedter You will not need to see them often, but someone with pediatric knowledge would be excellent at this. Orthopedists have nothing for him.
13:14:56 Kamibug_and_Kiddos thank
13:15:19 RandallNeustaedter Homeopathy can also help this if you have someone in your area.

13:16:23 RandallNeustaedter The same issues apply as the thrush baby. A good probiotic first of all.
13:16:30 hayday ?

13:17:24 mjlsep96 ?
13:17:26 arbonnemom ?
13:17:42 RandallNeustaedter Then you need good constitutional care. Not to sound like a broken record, but Chinese medicine's ability to strengthen the immune system and constitutional homeopathy are the best treatments for candida in children.
13:18:06 RandallNeustaedter Eczema is a different story and can benefit from some good supplements as well. Especially fish oil.

13:18:43 chat_manager tina, you're up :o)
13:18:44 Webmama_Tina ok that's me!
13:18:46 Webmama_Tina yay!
13:18:54 Webmama_Tina ok doctor, my 15mo was diagnosed with eczema....

13:19:05 Webmama_Tina i'm not entirely convinced its eczema, but its definitely an allergy...
13:19:18 Webmama_Tina he's had a rash and scratching like crazy for going on 2 months now
13:19:30 Webmama_Tina the ped nurse practitioner only told me about cremes to put on him....its not really helping
13:19:56 ChelleWeezie whats this room about?
13:20:07 Webmama_Tina i know he needs holistic care so i took him to the homeopathic doc for a remedy...but i know i need to get to the root, if i can...homeopathic doc told me you'll drive yourself crazy if you try to figure out what he's allergic to""
13:20:19 Webmama_Tina what are your recommendations for allergies like this?
13:20:24 Webmama_Tina how do i figure out what's causing it?
13:20:25 RandallNeustaedter Stop the steroids. Florasone is good substitute cream that often helps.
